Mr. Pei, whose real name is Pei Shaodong, codenamed Woodcutter, is the person in charge of the underground party in Yanjin. His public identity is that he is an ordinary employee of the Bank of Manchuria. He is also the person who sent the telegram to Lao Jiao!
Lao Huang turned around and walked out. He had to be responsible for guarding such an important meeting.
Zhao Tiecheng: "Comrade Pei, I have no choice but to come here this time. The superiors have issued a mobilization order for coordinated operations, but the county brigade is blind and does not understand the enemy's situation. It will definitely not work to attack rashly, so I have to contact you through Comrade Lu Ming.
"
Pei Shaodong nodded and said: "The transmitter broke down two days ago and the information has been unable to be sent out. I'm sorry to trouble Secretary Zhao to make a trip in person."
Zhao Tiecheng waved his hand and said: "As long as we get the information back, it is better than anything else. Our captain is worried about sending others here, so I have to do it myself."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Secretary Zhao, your county brigade has been very popular recently. It took down five Japanese artillery towers in one go, especially the successful raid on Jingxian County. I heard that the whole village was alarmed!"
Zhao Tiecheng said modestly: "The raid on Jing County was to catch the Japanese off guard. If we really have to fight with open swords and guns, the time is not yet ripe!"
Pei Shaodong took off his leather shoes, pulled off the heel and took out a wax pill from inside, and said: "This is the enemy's recent military deployment. According to my analysis, the Japanese are now shrinking their troops. The outer turrets are basically puppet troops and there are few heavy weapons.
.”
Zhao Tiecheng put the wax pill into his arms and said: "It will be easy to handle them if you master their rules. When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance. Only fools can confront them head-on!"
Pei Shaodong pondered and said: "Does the mobilization order for coordinated operations mean to launch a counterattack?"
Zhao Tiecheng nodded and said: "That's right, the Japanese are like grasshoppers after the autumn. They won't be around for a few days. We are asked by the superiors to take the opportunity to strengthen the team. If we want to strengthen the team, we must create more momentum, so as to attract more people."
People sign up to join the army!”
After saying this, he smiled mysteriously and said: "In addition, only if we start the war with great fanfare, supplies from Chongqing will continue to arrive!"
Lu Ming also smiled and said: "That's right, we can't let the chairman always feel wronged, as if we are cheating us of supplies!"
Pei Shaodong: "Secretary Zhao, your county brigade has grown to more than a thousand people. It should be an independent regiment. Why hasn't the designation changed?"
Zhao Tiecheng: "Chongqing does not allow us to continue to expand the army, saying that we should take the route of elite troops to avoid unnecessary consumption of military supplies! Let me tell you, it is pure nonsense. They are recruiting local armed forces everywhere, why don't they follow the route of elite troops?"
Lu Ming echoed from the side and said: "They have policies and we have countermeasures. Anyway, everyone understands it tacitly!"
Pei Shaodong thought for a moment and said, "Due to a problem with the transmitter, I can't contact the superiors for the time being. Comrade Lu Ming, do you know where Lao Jiao is now?"
Lu Ming: "The organization knew that I was coming to Yanjin, so they asked me to tell you that Lao Jiao arrived safely in Jizhong early yesterday morning!"
Pei Shaodong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. This is what I'm most worried about these days. If the electronic version falls into the hands of the enemy again, it will be a big trouble!"
Lu Ming said with envy: "The organization issued a notice and commendation to the woodcutter on the radio. It seems that you have done a good job, and you were able to get such an important thing from the enemy!"
Pei Shaodong smiled and said: "Actually, I just took advantage of others. The people who really contributed were the military commanders."
Lu Ming: "I really don't understand why this kind of thing is not destroyed on the spot. What's the use of taking it back?"
Pei Shaodong said slowly: "Just because it's useless now, doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future!"
Zhao Tiecheng was not interested in this topic. He stood up, looked around, and said, "You comrades working underground are really amazing to be able to create such a large basement under the noses of the Japanese!"
Pei Shaodong explained: "This is Comrade Lao Qiu's contribution. In order not to attract other people's attention, it took a full year to dig this basement!"
Zhao Tiecheng sighed: "I have heard of Comrade Lao Qiu, he is a role model worthy of all of us learning! It's a pity, alas..."
Pei Shaodong glanced at his watch and said, "It's too late, I have to go back. You guys stay one night at the Sakura Hotel at the end of the street, and you can leave Yanjin tomorrow morning."
Lu Ming: "Sakura Hotel? Is it a hotel opened by Japanese?"
Pei Shaodong: "Yes."
Lu Ming: "Is it unsafe?"
Pei Shaodong smiled and said: "The more Japanese a store is, the safer it is. Don't worry, the boss is just an ordinary Japanese businessman. There is no problem."
After leaving the basement, Pei Shaodong told Lao Huang, "There has been a lot of noise lately, so we have to stop printing leaflets!"
Lao Huang: "Okay!"
Pei Shaodong carried a bottle of soybean oil, hung it on the handlebar of his bicycle, and rode away from Huangji Oil Factory. He lived in Zizhu Apartment, which was not too far from here.
Zizhu Apartment is a three-story building. Because it was a British concession, it has a distinct European style.
There are all kinds of people living here, famous drummers, outhouses being kept by others, and even Japanese and Russians.
Pei Shaodong lived in Room 7 on the second floor. He carried the oil bottle and walked upstairs. He met a gorgeous woman. She was a dancer at the Xinya Ballroom. She usually stayed in the house during the day and went out at night, leading a life like a night owl.
"Miss Li, I'm at work." Pei Shaodong greeted politely.
"When I go to work, what do I eat and drink when I'm not at work?" Miss Li looked sad.
Pei Shaodong didn't dare to talk to him anymore. Having been a neighbor for so long, he knew very well this person's temperament. If they started talking, it would be endless.
After opening the door and entering the house, Pei Shaodong reached out and turned on the light. The room suddenly became brighter. When he lowered his head, there was an envelope on the floor at the door.
Obviously, the envelope was stuffed through the crack in the door. Pei Shaodong picked up the envelope and found that there was only one page of folded letter paper inside. When he opened it and took a look, he couldn't help but be surprised.
There was only one short sentence in the letter: The Japanese military mobilization is a bait, don’t act rashly!
Who is this guy?
How did he know that the enemy's military movements were bait?
Besides, how could this person know so clearly if he secretly collected this information?
Should you believe this stranger's warning?
Could it be that the intelligence collected at all risks was negated by an anonymous letter?
The key to the problem is, what is the other party’s approach?
If it was his comrade, why didn't he use code words to communicate?
"Tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the door.
Pei Shaodong quickly put the letter away and asked, "Who is it?"
